Kon Trubkovich's mixed media work on Strathmore paper captures the eerie, emotionally charged quality of a frozen video frame, where distortion and static transform an ordinary image into something hauntingly ambiguous. The artist manipulates surface and texture to evoke the visual degradation of paused VHS footage, suspending figures in a liminal moment that feels both intimate and unsettling. In this arrested instant, Trubkovich finds an unintended narrative — a melancholy that emerges only when motion ceases and the imperfections of the medium are laid bare.
